CEILING-HOOK FOR WARDROBE S OR THE LIKE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 761,739, dated June '7, 1904.

' Application filed April 4,1904. Serial No. 201,490. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it know'nthat I, WILLIAM A. WILLIAM SON, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of Newark, in the county of Essex 'and'State of New J ersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ceiling-Hooks for Wardrobes or the Like, of which the following is a specification.

Theinvention relatesto improvements in ceiling-hooks for wardrobes and the like; and

it consists in the novel hook structure herein-' referencebeing had tothe accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a bottom or lower end view of a hook constructed inaccordance with and embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 is a side elevation of same.

In the drawings, 10 designates the hook as a whole, and the said hook is formed of asin' gle rod of wire, one end of which is screwthreaded, as at 11. At the lower end of the screw 11 the wire is bent laterally to-form the member 12 and thence downwardly and then upwardly on a curved line to form the member 13, at the outer end of which the wire is doubled upon itself and returned downwardly on a curved line and upwardly parallel with the member 13 and to form a corresponding member v14:, at the upper end of which the wire is bent laterally to form a member 15 at one side of the screw 11, correspending and parallel with the said member 12, and is thence carried slightly upwardly, as at 23, and then laterally a suitable distance to the other side of said screw to form the member 16, whence the wire is extended downwardly and then upwardly on a curved line to form the member 17, at the outer end of which the wire is doubled upon itself and returned per and lower sections 20 21, which closely bind the members of the hook together and maintain their due relation with each other.

A detail. of the construction which forms a part of my invention, but to which my invention in its broader scope is not limited, resides in the fact that the members 12 15 curve upwardly, as at 22, around the'outer side of the upper binding-section 20, so that said members may present an upper surface on the same horizontal plane with the upper surface of the members 16 19, whereby an elongated horizontal bearing-surface is presented at each side of the screw 11 to engage the surface to which thehook may be applied, the upper edge of theupperbinding-section 20 in such construction being on the same horizontal plane with the members 12 15 and 16 19. If the members 12 15 were not turned upwardly,

as at 22, around the outer. side of the section 20, the members 16' 19 and saidsection 2O would form an effective horizontal stop or bearing-surface to engage the surface to which the hook might be applied.

I respect to The upper and lower binding-sections 20 I 21 are of great importance, since the upper section 20 crosses over the members 12 15 close to one side of the base of the screw 11 and the section 21 crosses under the members 16 19 close to the opposite side of the base of said screw, the terminating .portion of the section 21 being at the point where the base of the screw is curved laterally in the formation of the member 12, and hence is partly below and inline with said screw. The binding-sections 2O 21 are thus enabled to tie the members 12 15 and 16 19 together and also maintain the screw 11 when being applied to position against-being bentlaterally at its base or springing downwardly at its base, this latter feature being quite important, especially when the hook is to be applied to a piece of hard wood. The hook is thus formed froma single rod of wire and comprises the screw 11, the laterally-extending portions at the base thereof composed of the members 12 15 and 16 19, the downwardly-extending hook portions 24 25, composed, respectively, of the members 13 14 and 17 18, and the binding and locking portion, consisting of the upper and lower sections 20 21, crossing the laterallyextending portion of the hook, and the hook thus formed is of extremely durable and efficient character and capable of being manufactured at the minimum expense and with no waste of metal.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The hook in one red of wire and comprising the screw 11, the lateral members 12, 15 at one side of the base thereof, the members 13, 14 extending downwardly from said members 12, 15 and forming the hook portion 24, the lateral members 16, 19 at the other side of the base of said screw, the members 17 18 extending downwardly from said members 16, 19 and forming the hook portion 25, and the upper and lower binding-sections 20, 21 crossing the laterally-extending portion of the hook; substantially as set forth.

2. The hook in one red of wire and comprising the screw 11, the lateral members 12, 15 at one side of the base thereof, the members 13, 14 extending downwardly from said members 12, 15 and forming the hook portion 24, the lateral members 16, 19 at the other side of the base of said screw, the members 17, 18 extending downwardly from said members 16, 19 and forming the hook portion 25, and the upper and lower binding-sections 20, 21 formed of the terminating end of the wire rod and crossing over said members 12, 15 close to one side of the base of said screw and then under said members 16, 19, close to the opposite side of the base of saidscrew; substantially as set forth.

3. The hook in one red of wire and comprising the screw 11, the lateral members 12, 15:11; one side of the base thereof, the members 13, 14 extending dowmvardly from said members 12, 15 and forming the hook portion 24, the lateral members 16, 19 at the other side of the base of said screw, the members 17, 18 extending downwardly from said members 16, 19 and forming the hook portion 25, and the upper and lower binding-sections 20, 21 crossing the lateral]y-extending portion of the hook, said members 12, 15 being curved, as at 22, upwardly around the outer side of said section 20 so that said section 20 and the members 12, 15 and 16, 19 may present an extended horizontal bearing-surface; substantially as set forth.

4. The hook in one rod of wire and comprising the screw 11, the lateral members 12, 15 at one side of the base thereof, the members 12), 14 extending downwardly from said members 12, 15 and forming the hook portion 21-, the lateral members 16, 19 at the other side of the base of said screw, the members 17, 1Sextending dmvnwardly from said members 16, 19 and forming the hook portion 25, and the upper and lower binding-sections 20, 21 formed of the terminating end of the wire rod and crossing over said members 12, 15 close to one side of the base of said screw and then under said members 16, 19, close to the opposite side of the base of said screw, said members 12, 15 being curved, as at 22, upwardly around the. outer side of said section 20 so that said section 20 and the members 12, 15 and 16, 1.) may present an extended horizontal bearing-surface; substantially as set forth.
